Moderation is the basis of Bourguiba's effectiveness as an Arab spokesman. He was a nationalist leader when the strutting colonels of Egypt and Syria were adolescents, and he has built up a mass political following organized down to the cell level in 700 Tunisian cities and villages. Trained as a law student on Paris' Left Bank and married to a French wife, he was imprisoned again and again by colonial authorities, still kept up his wide contacts with more progressive French politicians in Paris. "I hate colonialism," he said, "not the French...
...worked with underwater sound for the Navy during World War II, went to the University of Illinois at Urbana and carried on ultrasound work with funds from the Office of Naval Research. In the early postwar years most ultrasound generators produced only a crude, unfocused beam. Fry built a two-story laboratory with equipment reminiscent of science-fiction illustrations, gradually refined his complex apparatus so that he could focus powerful ultrasound beams from four separate irradiators onto a target about the size of a pinhead...
Where small-town papers once focused exclusively on Mrs. Murphy, the multiplying middleweights have built circulation with the worldwide coverage for which readers formerly turned to metropolitan dailies. Many newspapers are prospering in spite of almost irresponsible mediocrity. But in a comparative survey last week, TIME correspondents across the U.S. found that in a majority of cases top national and international stories got substantially the same play in big cities and small. The middle-tier papers have also been quick to seize on such technological advances as color printing, tele-typesetters and cheap, fast methods that enable them...

...flight-the perilous maneuvers of futuristic vehicles flying at 10,000 m.p.h. and more in the thin, high fringe of the atmosphere. In the eyes of out-front rocket men, the ballistic missiles that dominate today's military dreams are pretty crude jobs, outmoded even before they are built. Since they follow elliptical courses through space, they must climb more than 1,000 miles to reach a respectable horizontal range. The climb costs vast amounts of fuel, making the missiles expensive and unwieldy. The curve of re-entry is simple and predictable. If the missile's motion...
